#MillionsMissing 2024!
#MEACTION LAUNCHES NATIONAL CAMPAIGN:
#TEACH ME, TREAT ME
#MEAction launched a national campaign to educate clinicians about ME/CFS in May 2024.
#MEAction teams hosted 20 medical education events throughout the spring, summer and fall to encourage medical providers to take the Mayo Clinic Proceedings Continuing Medical Education (CME) course on ME/CFS. We also presented medical education flashcards on ME/CFS, Long COVID, and other infection-associated chronic illnesses to medical schools.
CAMPAIGN WINS, thus far:
- 100,000 views of the Mayo Clinic Proceedings paper with 1000s of new views during the campaign!
- 402 clinicians attended in-person events.
- 421 clinicians took the Mayo CME or another CME as part of the initiative!
- Researchers and clinicians from five major institutions expressed interest in ongoing med ed partnerships at Mayo Clinic, Georgetown, Emory, Brown, and University of Montreal.
Reach Out to YOUR Clinician!
You can still email your clinician and ask them to take the Mayo CME, using our email template, or share our flier with them. We have also created a robust toolkit of resources for teams who would like to host their own medical education events going forward.
You Showed up from home!
